San Diego International Airport SAN, also known as Lindbergh Field, is located off Interstate Hwy 5 with connections to State Route 163, I-8 and I-15, and 3 miles northwest of downtown San Diego, a metropolitan area in California, known for its mild climate, plentiful beaches and world-class attractions like the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. SAN Airport received its moniker, Lindbergh Field, because Charles Lindbergh made San Diego the starting point for a trip that culminated in the first-ever solo, nonstop transatlantic flight in his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis. In fact, a life-size replica of Lindbergh’s plane hangs above baggage claim in Terminal 2 – one of many interesting displays in the airport. These days, San Diego Airport is served by many major airlines and regional jet services with Southwest offering the most flights. San Diego Internatonal is the nation’s busiest single runway airport, however its limited runway capacity cuts down on the number of international flights the airport can accommodate.

The Airport consists of three passenger terminals--Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and the Commuter Terminal--offering such amenities as restaurants, shops, lounges and club rooms and the Neil Ash USO Center. The free Red Bus (wheelchair-accessible) runs every 10 minutes between the terminals; bus stops are located curbside at all three terminals.

If you need to pick up an arriving passenger at the Airport, use the free Cell Phone Lot, wait in your car until your party has collected luggage and calls you for pick-up at the curb.
Parking Lots are located outside each of the three passenger terminals and offer short-term and long-term (up to 30 days) parking. Long-term parking is also available on a daily basis and can be a useful option, especially during busy holiday travel periods when on-site parking is at capacity. Three off-site parking lots are served by color-coded free shuttles.
The parking facilities offer two fast payment options: (a) the automated Express Parking pay stations located outside Terminals 1 & 2, or (b) the fully-staffed payment booths at the exit gates of each parking lot. Both accept cash and major credit cards. Several ATM machines are located in the passenger terminals. Disabled parking is available at all lots. Marked spaces are located near each skybridge elevator and all entry points for each terminal. For more information call Lindbergh Parking at 619.291.1508.

Rental car reservation boards are near the baggage claim areas of Terminals 1 and 2. Use the courtesy phones provided to request shuttle transport to the car rental company of your choice; however using a reservation board is not always necessary. Rental car shuttles regularly operate at the Terminal 1 center traffic aisle and at the traffic island at the far west end of Terminal 2. If you follow the signage to any of these areas, it is likely that a shuttle will be waiting.

To get from the Airport to your destination, you can rent a car, or take a taxi or limo. Alternatively, shuttle vans and buses are a popular transportation option to your destination and are available at the Transportation Plazas across from Terminals 1 and 2, and curbside at the Commuter Terminal. Public bus Flyer Route 992, stops between Terminals 1 and 2 and the Commuter Terminal and makes runs between the Airport and downtown San Diego. The 10-minute bus service connects with Trolley, Coaster and Amtrak stations and is wheelchair accessible. Amtrak Intercity and Coaster commuter trains link communities and travelers from as far away as Los Angeles and Orange Counties to downtown San Diego and coastal North County and, includes stops in Old Town, Sorrento Valley, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad and Oceanside.
